People always say that time heals.

But the more time that passes, the more painful it becomes.

But on the other hand the more time passes the easier it’s getting for me to be without you.

So... in a way time is doing both,

Hurting and healing

Burning and regrowing,

All into something new.

So always be thankful of the past.

For without it, you would not be the person you are here today.

all the memories you and I shared together,
i never thought that you yourself would actually become one,

and yet here you are fading into a blurred image
and to be honest...

I don't really mind.

the way she gets up every day after all she has been through
all that she is still going through
that is pure strength
that is a beautiful thing.

"i promise," she said quietly to herself,
"i promise that I won't let them hurt me anymore.
i will be stronger than them."

after so much heartbreak in her life
after so many people came into her home, made a mess and broke things
just to leave and make her clean it up by herself
she locked the doors and built a gated wall.
she leaves her windows open but she never lets people inside.
she is rebuilding her beautiful home,
she is making an astonishingly glorious garden
she is making all the pain into a beautiful mosaic
with a "do not touch" sign underneath.
she is becoming brand new
and it's such a beautiful thing.
